When FARKLE leaves Topanga's, RILEY is still standing on the patio, though MAYA's gone.

FARKLE: (flustered) Riley, I thought you were...you're...hey.

RILEY: Hey.

FARKLE: Well, I...

RILEY: Remember when you kissed me in seventh grade?

FARKLE: Of course, I do. I kind of failed though. It didn't count.

RILEY: It did to me. It does to me.

FARKLE: (laughs) I kissed your chin.

RILEY: Don't feel bad, it's all you could reach. (she smirks)

FARKLE laughs and RILEY's smirk becomes a smile. Then they stand there in silence. Finally, FARKLE gives an exasperated scoff.

RILEY: Farkle, what's wrong?

FARKLE: I'm not going to miss again.

He crosses across the patio and kisses her intensely, both hands on her face. The kiss practically knocks the world out from under them.

After they pull away, she grins to herself. She notices he's looking at her, and looks at him.

RILEY: You're an idiot, Farkle Minkus.

FARKLE: You're beautiful, Riley Matthews.

They both stand there smiling at each other.
